The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed the long-gestating rumors that Billy Dee Williams will return to that galaxy far, far away and will reprise his role of Lando Calrissian for next year’s Star Wars: Episode IX!

Williams made his debut as the gambling scoundrel in Star Wars: Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, reprising in Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, and in countless other Star Wars shows like Star Wars Rebels and games like Star Wars: Jedi Knight II – Jedi Outcast. He even voiced the character in various Robot Chicken and Family Guy episodes dedicated solely to Star Wars as well as The LEGO Movie. Donald Glover stepped into the role earlier this year to play a younger Lando in Solo: A Star Wars Story.

That's what I've been waiting for. Hopefully within a few years we get to see Batman take down a Death Star with nothing more than a Flying Space General Lee, stars and bars and all, with Alf riding shotgun whilst wielding a flaming excalibur

Yeah, you are right. I am sure Luke learned the ability from Obi-Wan or Yoda but you never know with the current Star Wars story group.

Well, he did have the Journals of the Whills on Ach-To with him. Not much more to do there than to read and drink green tit milk from some weird slug, especially when you've renounced the Force (just how did he turn those Midichlroians off, anyway??).
